We performed a comparison between Jamf Pro and SOTI MobiControl based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"The most valuable feature is the policy CSPs."
"We have not experienced any bugs or glitches with this solution."
"The product has eased the deployment of Microsoft apps to the devices. We can manage it properly. We can control it and push the updates. Another company helped us with the deployment. However, we can do it internally."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"The ability to switch between Affinity and non-Affinity enrollment is great."
"Application deployment and keeping the devices secure no matter where they are, by having this cloud solution — that has been great."
"If you want to manage macOS devices in your enterprise and want to make it as easy for the user as well as for the administrators, you should use the DEP with Jamf Pro."
"I can add policies, configuration profiles, patch management, and smart group membership to one single view, and this is very helpful at a glance."
"The most valuable features are the Jamf agent and the API."
"Being able to push out elevation policies to users on an Adhoc basis helps us when users are not in the office."
"Users love that instead of having to wait for tickets to be resolved, they can open an app and run a specific policy."
"Microsoft SSO integration allows us to set up email remotely for users without them having to do anything other than entering their password."
"The solution has good integration with Google and has high performance for our Mac fleet of devices."
"The remote wipe and lock features are by far the best tools."
"Among the valuable features are managing configurations of all devices and being able to remote into devices... We send out configurations for each site that has its devices. Each site has a different configuration, and SOTI manages each configuration for each site"
"It's been very stable over the past few years."
"The most valuable features are visibility and remote access."
"The SOTI MobiControl Assist tool is very good for remote controlling devices for troubleshooting. SOTI MobiControl is very helpful."
"The feature I find most valuable within Soti is the ability to reset or unlock a device. A lot of the devices that we use are in the field. We have locations in Dallas, San Diego, Seattle, Washington, and Phoenix, Arizona and there isn't always someone, within our company, who is managing these devices. Sometimes it's the doctors' offices that we partner with where they use these devices. Having the ability to remotely reset a device or unlock a device has been super-crucial for me."
"The most valuable features of SOTI MobiControl include location tracking, geofencing, remote device control, and SOTI self-service mobile browsers."
"The keywords menu is better than other MDM. They have an Out of Contact policy, which other MDMs don't have."
"I've really enjoyed the use of the file sync when I'm administrating version control in my program."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"The reporting and cost have room for improvement."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"I'm still playing around with it and haven't had any issues with the product yet, but support can definitely be improved."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The reporting with PowerBI could be improved."
"I would like to see tighter integration with Jamf Protect in the future releases of Jamf Pro."
"The product is pretty good as-is, but if anything could be improved I would say the UI could perhaps be a bit simpler. A mobile app to complement the web-based version, to perform specific tasks, would be nice to have - a good example of what I mean is the "Pulseway" MDM for Windows, they have a very useful and user-friendly mobile app."
"The upgrade process of this solutions could be improved. It is not possible to use Jamf Pro to upgrade devices."
"I would like to have the ability to push scripts using MDM commands."
"They need to alphabetize payloads."
"I would like to be able to see what policies and configuration profiles are tied to what Smart/Static groups."
"It would be nice if Jamf added an onboarding tool integrated into Jamf Connect during the automated DEP enrollment workflow. It would also improve the user experience if Jamf integrated native macOS notifications, with the option to interact within the notification center."
"Where they need improvement is not as much on the technical side but, rather, on their communication. In general, that has been poor. Account management and communication could be greatly improved..."
"One issue is that if someone is using an Apple device and they're on the SIM card for data, it does not push the SOTI management system through immediately. It only works when you have it on WiFi. That's something I've noticed as we're troubleshooting and deploying devices into the field."
"It would be helpful if the product offered more integration and more features around the iOS and macOS platforms."
"SOTI MobiControl currently lacks some DLP features."
"Maybe if there were tiers, it would be better as then companies could lower the pricing by going to the lower deployment model."
"I wish I had the ability to select an app singly and install or refresh it, instead of having to go into the application controls and assign it to a group. I wish there was a spot that listed all my applications. I could go into a single one and refresh or update. It's not very easily accessible, per application."
"The management console could be improved to be a little bit more user-friendly. Some of the stuff is a little bit cumbersome, some of it feels like an engineering solution, but otherwise it's pretty good."
"I would like them to improve the process of enrolling Android devices. It's much more difficult to enroll Android devices than it is Windows CE devices. There are a lot more steps required."
